Last night I took my eldest on a tour of what will be her high school next year. It was pretty overwhelming for both of us if I’m completely honest. She is at the point with primary school where she is really loving it and the thought of leaving all that (and her friends) next year kind of sucks, no matter how great the school is.
For me it’s a realisation that things are changing. My kids are growing up, I’m in my second year of university, eventually we will have to move from this rental (hopefully to our own home) and in just a few short years our life will look different. Very different.
We haven’t travelled in over a year now. Not even interstate. Not even INTRAstate! Corona bites. And that may be contributing to our flat moods about change.
So in three weeks we’re going on an Easter vacation down to the Gold Coast. Stay tuned for pics of that both here and on my instagram. It’s going to be great.
A week off work will give me some space to get some uni work done too. I have had thoughts of “what if I can’t get a prac spot” and “what if I can’t get a job” creep in that I need to let go of. As well as how will we do all of *this* when we add high school to the mix of stuff we have to *do.*
But we will manage. We always do. Big change coming fast, and slow, and we will deal with it.
